We have build what is likely to be one of the most robust, 3-wheeled Kiwi drives ever seen at FTC competition.

If we raise the elevator to level 2 or 3, we can still move laterally between the columns without hitting pegs or rings, since the conveyor remains just below them at each level, and since the elevator columns are set far enough back, near the rear of the bot.

Very inspirational posts to this thread showing pushing the limit with the new materials allowances.

I see FTC moving more to a manufacture and design competition for some teams with the new rule changes. I am the team lead for our overall program and do not get much time to work with the FTC program. I am excited to see the new designs such as your team(s) have posted in this thread. Hopefully we will see more teams post pictures and designs. I feel that is one of the unique features/strengths of FRC.

Just wondering how you are moving your elevator? I notice what looks to be pulleys, will it be actuated by a series of pulleys? If so, what thread/cord are you using?
